Eric,
Thanks. Several issues have appeared. Aprsd can be misconfigured to
cause looping in the APRS-IS, and often is. The javaAPRSSrvr code has
been revamped to detect and solve this but we still see hiccups
occasionally.
Xastir makes a better iGate, and if hams ask AE5PL, they can get the
java code for igating or 2ndary servers. I'd much rather see a script
to take the java package and make it go into a predetermined area. I'd
also love to see it executed as a non-priv user with access to the
needed ports/sockets.

Gerry,
Just got finished talking with the lead of the Amateur Radio SIG. Told him
what was going on (somewhat) and he asked that a comment be put on Red Hat's
Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434547) for the aprsd
package. I'd go ahead and do it before they really start working on it.
Apparently both Xastir and aprsd have some issues they are trying to work
through to get it approved and in the repository.

Oh no! NOT aprsd. That will complicate any form of orderly APRS-IS
activity. No. I'm NOT kidding.

It looks like Xastir rpms are going to be placed in the Fedora yum repositories soon. It
is currently sitting in the "Packages submitted for review" area of packages
page on the Fedora Amateur Radio SIG (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/AmateurRadio).
Over the past couple of days the number of rpms available in the amateur radio
software category has shot through the roof. There are thirteen packages in
Fedora now, seven submitted for review (including Xastir and aprsd), and
twenty-three packages still being worked on. I can't wait for these packages
to be complete and ready to go!
